Welcome to the University of Leicester's Graduate School

The University of Leicester is a leading provider of postgraduate education in the UK.

• The quality of our teaching has been judged to be among the best in the country by outside commentators. For example, the Financial Times placed the University of Leicester at the top of its league in taught postgraduate education in each of its three surveys since 2001; and the teaching in all our departments assessed by the UK's Quality Assurance Agency since 1999 has been rated as excellent.
• Leicester appears at 151st in the world's top 200 universities' list (joint 16th in the UK) and our research students have access to leading academics working at the frontiers of their subjects.
• By choosing to study at Leicester, our postgraduate students benefit from our strong track record and expertise in providing excellent taught programmes and research opportunities.

The Graduate School provides the focus for this postgraduate activity. It reflects the central place held by postgraduate education in the University's mission.

• Approximately half of Leicester's students are postgraduates, so our postgraduate students are not just a small group of students that fit around large groups of undergraduates.
• Our postgraduates are central to what the University is and stands for. Our Graduate School enables our postgraduate students to be part of a large and energetic community of scholars.
